Chapter 760 Mavrovich

Shurka received Varrasha at the Karachi station. Seeing an American jeep open the door, and then Walrasha flew over, Shuerka was stunned.

"What's wrong?" Val Rasha asked suspiciously, "Why is there such an expression?"

"You don't want to die, do you?" Shulka said, "Don't you know that German pilots only pick this kind of jeep?"

Valrasha looked back and realized what the problem was.

"I don't know about this!" Varrasha replied blankly, "Mavrovich arranged it!"

"Mavrovich?" Shulka was taken aback when he heard the name.

At this time, a middle-aged man in his fifties, with the rank of colonel, got out of the jeep, and was wearing a military coat with a cane in one hand. Immediately after he got out of the car, two guards jumped out of the car behind and ran to him. .

Varrasha stepped forward and took the middle-aged man's hand affectionately, walked up to Shulka and introduced: "Comrade Mavrovich, the editor-in-chief of "Pravda"!"

"Hello, Comrade Shulka!" Mavrovich looked at Shulka, stretched out his hand and said, "Nice to meet you, I have seen your name and photo in newspapers more than once, and I haven't read them until now." I am honored to be a real person!"

Shulka hurriedly saluted and came forward to shake hands: "It's my honor, Comrade Colonel!"

Although Shulka didn't know who this Mavrovich came from, he knew that the colonel in front of him was different from other colonels... You must know that he was the editor-in-chief of "Pravda", which was the organ of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union. Holding the most correct political direction and public opinion direction in the country, its editor-in-chief is undoubtedly a figure trusted by the Supreme Command and even Stalin.

It is said that after Stalin's death, Khrushchev gained the upper hand in the power struggle because he formed an alliance with the editor-in-chief of "Pravda".

Of course, there is still a gap between the editor-in-chief and the editor-in-chief, but you don't need to think about it to know that it is an important and powerful position.

"Comrade Mavrovich is my father's good friend!" Varasa introduced: "He wants to interview you personally this time!"

Hearing what Varrasha said, Shulka suddenly understood why Varrasha became a major reporter for Pravda, and also understood that Varrasha had previously said that he had a relationship and could help Shulka be transferred from the 82nd Infantry Regiment.

Later Shulka found out,

Strictly speaking, Mavrovich was not a friend of Valrasha's father, but a subordinate and comrade-in-arms of her father.

So Shulka's previous worries seemed superfluous. Valrasha has such a relationship, and there are really not many people who dare to touch her.

"Our purpose is the headquarters, isn't it?" Mavrovich asked.

"Yes!" said Shulka.

"Then what are we waiting for?" Mavrovich asked.

"I'm waiting for you to get into my car!" Shulka replied.

"Your car?" Mavrovich was a little puzzled.

Shulka knew that Mavrovich was a soldier of the "previous generation", and his tactical thinking was still at the level of World War I and the Civil War. In addition, he stayed in the newspaper office for a long time to fiddle with words, so he had no understanding of the actual situation on the battlefield. .

"Yes, Comrade Mavrovich!" Shulka raised his head towards the jeep behind him and explained, "I had a jeep like this before, but it was blown up by an enemy plane during the battle!"

Mavrovich said "Oh", then understood what Shulka meant, and then nodded appreciatively at Shulka.

The cleverness of Shulka's words is that he was talking about an extremely ordinary battlefield experience on the surface, but in fact he was implying the reason why Mavrovich's American jeep was dangerous.

If Shulka had said it in another way, as he had just said to Varrasha, it would have been a burst of performance, then Mavrovich, who was a veteran and held an important position, would definitely feel embarrassed.

"You're very smart, Comrade Shulka!" Mavrovich walked towards Shulka's car leaning on crutches.

Before getting into the car, Mavrovich told the guard, "Let the jeep follow after half an hour!"

"Yes, Comrade Mavrovich!"

Shulka was a little surprised, not only because Mavrovich understood his intentions so quickly, but also because of his order... He could actually consider that the existence of the jeep might affect the safety of the entire convoy.

But at the same time Shulka didn't understand why he had to wait half an hour for the jeep to start.

Mavrovich seemed to be able to see through Shulka's thoughts. After getting into the car, he asked, "Maybe you are thinking now, if I don't need that jeep anymore, why should I let it go?"

"Yes!" Shulka nodded.

Going out of Karachi is to go out of the city to the headquarters of the 51st Army Group more than ten kilometers away, and it is still daytime... Although the German Air Force is not interested in the targets near Karachi, the American jeep is an exception.

What Shulka couldn't figure out was that Mavrovich knew that the jeep would be dangerous to drive in this area, so why did he let it "depart in half an hour"?

Wouldn't it be better and safer to leave the jeep in Karachi or just send it back? And more fuel efficient.

"I wanted to see if you were right!" Mavrovich explained.

Shulka's face changed: "That's all?"

"Is there a problem?" Mavrovich asked back.

"So what if I'm right, and what if I'm wrong?"

"Nothing!" Mavrovich replied, "I just want to know!"

"So!" said Shulka, "to satisfy your curiosity, you put your guard in a jeep at the risk of being bombed by enemy fighter planes? You didn't even warn him of the danger! He might have even sacrificed himself to that jeep!"

"You can say that!" Mavrovich nodded.

Shulka gritted his teeth, then patted the cockpit of the car, and ordered: "Turn around!"

"No, you should move on!" Mavrovich said seriously, "This is an order!"

"Shuerka..." Val Rasha looked a little nervous.

Shulka hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said: "I can't do it, Comrade Colonel! At least you should go back and tell your guards to allow them to abandon the jeep when they are bombed by planes! This way you can satisfy your curiosity, It can save the life of the guards, and even waste a bomb or a shuttle of bullets from the enemy! What do you think?"

The atmosphere in the carriage was momentarily awkward.

Then all of a sudden, Mavrovich laughed: "It's 'breakout heroes', and they're not lying!"
